You might want to conside something different that would help the little guy develop healthy habits, like a gift certificate for an hour or half hour personal training session at a nearby YMCA. When my boys were young teens they practically swooned at the macho-ness of going to a personal...

Candi: Love it! No, I don't really think of myself as an old lady. I look like I did in highschool and still get carded, even with the night sweats! Thanks for all the ideas - I have some flax seed oil, so will definitely try that starting today. And I think I noticed an improvement with...

Ladies: There was an earlier post about some people having difficulty reaching their glutes in Butts & Gutts: that it got to their quads more. I'm one of those, so I tried what everyone said - which is to really concentrate on using my glutes, and to really use my heels to push, etc. I...

I guess I'm officially an old lady at 45 because I evidently have started the change of life (two years ago)x( I got the wild, wild bleeding under control by getting on the Pill, but have the absolute worst night sweats. I wonder if any of you have this going on?? I literally soak my sheets...

Also, Lakeway has quite an impressive facility. I bet you can get day or week passes there, too. That would be closer to where you will be.:7

Patti: You are going to LOVE Austin, (except for the traffic). There are several Whole Foods Markets, but go to the one on South Lamar (close to downtown) because it is such a trip. They have different food and wine "stations" where you can buy a glass of wine, get some sushi, etc., and...

Really good question, Sparrow. I also have good strength in my biceps but not much size or bulk. Bumping to see if others have thoughts here. (But I don't want to get bulk...) Still, very curious to see if it's simply our genes or what.

Hi Jennifer: I love the Tae Bo tapes: the advanced ones are fun as all get out and a great workout. Plus, I really need the diversity of different workouts. I never have used weighted gloves. I think they would be harmful to your shoulder joints, but have zero info to back that up. I...

Hi everyone: I only have one exercise band (the free one I got with Turbo Jam!) so yesterday when I was working out at my little lake cabin, where I have no exercise band, instead of skipping the firewalkers, I used an extra workout bra and stuck my feet through the arm holes and then through...

Ditto both of the above! Bootcamp is TERRIFIC, just terrific. And she saves the most fun circuit for the last, so you have to hang in there until the bitter end!

Pixie: You have to disguise your procrastination more creatively: when I was supposed to be studing for the bar exam back in the day, I painted all the kitchen cabinets - inside and out. Beautiful, perfect job. Thus, I had accomplished something! Just not the task immediately at hand...

Tonight I steamed some chard and dribbled about a teaspoon of olive oil on it. Also dry sauteed a package of whole mushrooms and finished them off with a little bit - about a Tablespoon - of very, very nice balsamic vinegar. And, finally, I cut up some tomatoes from a client's garden and...

Shelley and Carmen - how old are you?? ARe you still in your growing years???

I think I would vote for Tae Bo, if she is new to the whole idea of working out. Or maybe Turbo Jam. Because they both are so darn much fun and if you botch the moves, it doesn't matter because you still are jumping around and working up a sweat! I agree that Cathe's choreography would...

Hey gang: I thought I would share a few killer finds with everyone and see what you guys are coming up with for nifty Christmas gifts. Target (my favorite store) now carries some Smith & Hawken items! I got a narcissus bulb kit in a nice glazed urn for $20 something. And a couple of 5...

One more: on a family trip through New Mexico, we pulled over so the boys could pee pee on the side of the road. There was a big donkey standing at the fence watching them intently. Very curious. So the older son slowly walks over to the donkey with his hand outreached. When he got about...

My oldest son was about 3 years old and we are at Christmas Mass in a very small, intimate historic church. He steps into the aisle, spots the nativity scene and hollers, pointing for the benefit of all, "There's the baby Jesus!!!" x( :P

OMG! I'm a boxer mommy, too! My weetle gyuurrll is named Lola. She's a 65 pound reverse brindle with a black mask and I love her so much it is ridiculous. She is the joy of each day. So playful and sweet. And LOVES children! Yes, she leans on you and walks in the shape of a "C" wagging her...

Fun post! We always went to look at Christmas lights on Christmas Eve with Dad. Mom (and grandmothers, if they were there) stayed home to get dinner ready (always tamales and shrimp on Christmas Eve) and when we got back, guess what??? Santa had come!!!!!!! And there were presents under the...

Tina: Here I am, a lawyer, about to infringe on Dr. Furhman's copyright!! A sample of a day's menu is as follows: B: oranges 1 cup oatmeal 1 ounce walnuts 1 ounce raisins L: Raisin coleslaw (he gives the recipe later) vegetable or bean soup 1 or 2 pieces fresh...
